Steelers get Minkah

[thedddd]

Let me add this proves more and more the Steelers will never win again as long as Tomlin/Colbert are leading them. They can't even tank for Tua.

Meh. I think Mason Rudolph is for real and Pittsburgh's two toughest games on their schedule are already behind them. I could see them winning 12 games still.

They couldn’t win 12 games if they played 30. This team is headed for a top 10 pick which they just handed to Miami.

A knee jerk reaction to losing Ben. This defense is a mess and they will be lucky to win 5 games.

We really judge this trade until we know where the 1st round pick is. Obviously it's bad if Rudolph stinks and they miss out on a QB, but it's a late teens/early 20s at the lowest then fine because Minkah will probably be better than anyone picked there.


Pretty boom or bust.

If there's any other consolation the team is very clearly telling Mason Rudolph they have the utmost faith in him between not adding a QB who'd be a distraction/possible competition and now this, which is a good thing.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Well I guess they have faith in Rudolph then. otherwise they would hold onto the 1st for a QB.

Exactly this is kind of a head scratcher to me. With Big Ben out for the season combined with his age, plus past talk about hanging up the cleats I don't see him coming back.

They lost a huge amount of talent when AB and Bell departed and haven't replaced it yet.

Is Rudoloh their answer? If Ben recovers they save his cap $. Maybe they look to FA. Brady is available. Any other top quality QBs available next year?

The defense does finally seem to have a lot of pieces to be a good unit.

But it also won't matter as long as Keith Butler is the DC.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Like, I can't even be mad the Chiefs didn't get Fitzpatrick. That's just insane value to give up for Fitzpatrick if you're the Steelers.

Price for Ramsey just went up.

Yeah with Tomlin coaching and how bad Butler coaches the D they were lucky to win 8 with Ben.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Brady is available.

Feel for him, going from 0-2 to 0-2

"Dolphins now set to have three first-round picks (own, Houston, Pittsburgh) in 2020 after the Minkah Fitzpatrick trade. They'll own the draft and they hope Pittsburgh's pick could be high after the Steelers start the year 0-2 plus Ben Roethlisberger out for the year due to injury. Miami set to have SEVEN picks in the first three rounds next spring. Dolphins GM Chris Grier will be the most important decision-maker in the draft next April." = Cameron Wolfe

I heard today on TV he was rated a late 1st round pick going into the draft. So he might have some upside.

Lets hope they don't draft like the Raiders.

EDIT....I meant to say lets hope they DO draft like the Raiders.

My comment was directed at the Steelers still getting to 12 wins.

Do you have confidence the Dolphins don't screw this up?

 

[dbldwn711]

Just heard on ESPN that the Steelers GM just called the Dolphins back...


No, I want my picks back. All of them.

 

[tnapucco]

It could take a couple of years to know for sure how it pans out.

In today's NFL you have to maximize your opportunities to get talent....especially if you're sucking hind tit. The front office has to identify where the team is deficient and identify potential talent months before Goodell calls the first pick.

Move first, move best...but yeah, don't fuck it up as well!

 

[broncosmitty]

Dolphins just picked up a top 10/15 pick. Steelers aren't going to win many games this year.

Top Ten easily imo.

 

[fordman84]

damn, giving up a high 1st for him?
